LIGHT OF DAY'S GLUTEN-FREE LEVITATING LEMON TEA COOKIES

1 C. flour (we like the Bob's Red Mill Gluten-free) ¼ Xanthan Gum (if using Gluten-free flour) ¼ C. Sugar ¼ C. powdered Sugar 1 TBSP Light of Day Organics Levitating Lemon tea leaves zest of one lemon 1 tsp vanilla 1 tsp strongly brewed Levitating Lemon tea liquid, cooled ½ C. salted butter  Preheat oven to 375.  In a food processor, add all dry ingredients until the tea leaves are finely ground. Add the Vanilla, brewed Green Tea, Butter and continue processing until you form a dough. You will need to stop a few times to scrape down the sides.
On a piece of waxed or parchment paper, dump out the dough and roll into a log. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for about 30 minutes or freeze for 10-15. Once dough is chilled, slice the log into 1/3 inch thick rounds. The cookies might crumble apart a bit, just smoosh it back together with your hands! Place on baking sheet with parchment paper and cook for about 12 minutes until edges are just browned. Let cool on sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to wire rack.

Remember when ordering loose teas, that there are approximately 200 servings per pound (or that 1 oz. of loose leaf tea or tisane makes 15-25 servings).
